Do you live with a chronic disease that requires constant monitoring and care every day of your life in order to remain healthy and strong? Diabetes can often require even more care than most of us are aware of. If you live with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes, your fluctuating sugar levels can affect your whole body, including the health of your eyes and the clarity of your vision. Diabetic retinopathy and other diabetes related vision problems are just one of the reasons why patients should be seeing their local Westminster CA ophthalmologist for regular eye exams in order to diagnose any problems in their earliest to treat stages. Our fully licensed and professionally trained staff at the Orange Coast Eye Center are the experts you can count on to diagnose and manage diabetic eye conditions to stop any harm from coming to your sight.

Diabetic retinopathy may sound like a rare occurrence, but in fact this optical disease exists today as one of the number one causes of blindness in patients over 65, and is often diagnosed in far younger patients as well if high blood sugar levels occur too often. If you are experiencing trouble seeing in the center of your eyes while driving or reading, difficulty distinguishing colors, blurred vision, or flecks that resemble dust but seem to float around endlessly in your field of vision but often come and go for days at a time, these are often signs of a developing case of diabetic retinopathy. However, in most cases diabetic retinopathy shows no symptoms at all until permanent vision loss has already begun. Diabetic retinopathy can result in total blindness without treatment from your professional Westminster CA ophthalmologist.
